'Tiled' is a map editor software available at: https://www.mapeditor.org/

Graphics for the 'Tiled' map found in this archive were created by: Pyromantic and used here as per the author's license displayed at: https://opengameart.org/content/sunset-temple-tiles (CC-BY 3.0, CC0)

The C source code contained within this archive is made available under CC0 license (without any guarantees/warranties, expressed or implied; as-is).


Usage: You will need to compile the source code (main2.c and main2.h) and link it with Allegro5 library as well as Allegro5 Add-on libraries called 'primitives_addon' and 'image_addon'.

The source code contains:
-a basic loader for CSV layer file exported by 'Tiled' app
-basic collision detection for 2d tilemap/platformer game (no sweeping)
-VBO creation (each tilemap layer is stored as a single VBO/IBO to simplify the drawing)
-simple VBO sprite creation and drawing example
